Abstract

A wall mount for a tool box includes a base, the base being at least substantially planar and defining a volume dimensioned to receive a tool box, a support extending outwardly from a lower portion of the base, the support constructed to at least substantially bear a weight of a tool box received by the wall mount, and at least one receiver extending outwardly from an upper portion of the base, the at least one receiver being constructed to engage a correspondingly dimensioned and positioned feature of a tool box to prevent outward rotation of a tool box about the at least one support.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A wall mount for a tool box, the wall mount comprising:
 a base, the base being at least substantially planar and defining a volume dimensioned to receive a tool box; 
 a support extending outwardly from a lower portion of the base, the support constructed to at least substantially bear a weight of a tool box received by the wall mount; and 
 at least one receiver extending outwardly from an upper portion of the base, the at least one receiver being constructed to engage a correspondingly dimensioned and positioned feature of a tool box to prevent outward rotation of a tool box about the at least one support, 
 wherein the receiver comprises a retainer at a distal portion thereof, 
 wherein the retainer of the receiver comprises one or more upwardly extending sections or members to limit forward movement of a handle of a tool box received by the wall mount. 
 
     
     
       2. The wall mount according to  claim 1 , wherein the support comprises only one support. 
     
     
       3. The wall mount according to  claim 2 , wherein the one support extends across at least substantially an entire lateral width of the base. 
     
     
       4. The wall mount according to  claim 2 , wherein the one support extends across only a portion of a lateral width of the base. 
     
     
       5. The wall mount according to  claim 1 , wherein the support comprises one or more first connectors comprising one or more male features and/or one or more female features to matingly engage corresponding one or more second connectors at a lower portion of a tool box received by the wall mount. 
     
     
       6. The wall mount according to  claim 5 , wherein the one or more first connectors comprise recessed areas, grooves or teeth. 
     
     
       7. The wall mount according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the at least one-receiver or the support is movable from a first position relative to the base to a second position. 
     
     
       8. The wall mount according to  claim 1 , wherein the support comprises a retainer at a distal portion thereof. 
     
     
       9. The wall mount according to  claim 8 , wherein the retainer of the support comprises one or more upwardly extending sections or members to limit lateral movement of a base portion of a tool box received by the wall mount. 
     
     
       10. The wall mount according to  claim 1 , wherein the retainer of the receiver comprises a recessed area to receive a handle of a tool box received by the wall mount and to limit translation of the handle along the retainer. 
     
     
       11. The wall mount according to  claim 1 , wherein the retainer comprises a movable downwardly extending member to positively engage an upper portion of a tool box received by the wall mount.
